As a grand event in the textile industry, on May 6, the 2025 Keqiao Textile Expo (Spring),Shaoxing China opened at the Shaoxing International Convention and Exhibition Center. More than 700 participating enterprises took "innovation" as the core driving force, and through technological, material, and product innovation, they opened up new prospects in the changing situation, jointly creating an industry event featuring innovative collaboration, resource sharing, and win - win solutions. According to the access control data, more than 16,500 merchants entered the expo on the first day.

On the opening day, a continuous stream of professional purchasers flocked into the exhibition hall, and multiple languages such as English, Arabic, and Russian intertwined into an international business symphony. At the booth of Zhejiang Kewang Textile Co., Ltd., a double - sided elastic perforated fabric made of "acetate + rayon" attracted many purchasers to stop. "This is a fabric newly developed by our company this year. It has both good drapability and a cooling sensation, and the finished garments exude an understated luxury of the 'old - money style,'" introduced a person in charge of the company. The enterprise invests nearly 10 million yuan in research and development funds every year. This time, it brought more than 2,000 innovative fabrics in over ten categories, including acetate, Lyocell, and rayon, and received the attention of many potential customers.

"This is my first time in Keqiao. If I were to rate it on a scale of 0 - 10, the Keqiao International Textile Expo definitely deserves a 15!" exclaimed Zack, a purchaser from Kuwait, giving a thumbs - up. He came to the expo with a group of more than 30 other purchasers and identified 4 high - quality suppliers on the first day. Zack said that the fabrics from the China Textile City are very popular in Kuwait, and he was attracted by the variety and prices of the fabrics on display. In addition, the direct - flight group from Kyrgyzstan, the Yiwu Belt and Road Foreign Merchants Group, and other groups will arrive one after another for procurement.

The intelligent wave is redefining the boundaries of time and space in the textile industry. At the AI intelligent technology area of the expo site, creative forms and innovative achievements such as custom - printed T - shirts, robot interactions, AI cameras, 3D virtual clothing, and virtual looms attracted a large number of fans. Wang Suqin, a designer from Hangzhou, experienced custom - printed T - shirts on - site: "The process from design to sample - making is so fast. This'made - to - order' intelligent manufacturing model is bound to revolutionize the traditional supply chain."

This expo continued to innovatively construct a "1 + N" exhibition matrix. In addition to the main exhibition, exhibitions such as the 2025 Shaoxing International Garment Supply Chain Expo, the 2025 Keqiao International Textile Printing Industry Exhibition (Spring)/2025 Keqiao International Textile Industry Exhibition, and the 2025 China Zhejiang Textile Dyeing Industry Technology and Equipment Exhibition were also held, forming a full - industrial - chain display platform from fabrics and accessories to intelligent equipment.

The Keqiao International Textile Expo has evolved from a product display platform to a source of industry innovation. It can be predicted that the Keqiao International Textile Expo will surely become a core venue for textile industry insiders to establish close connections, deepen business exchanges, inspire creative collisions, and stay ahead of the curve and seize opportunities.
